"from 20–26 April" is incorrect

Hello, you can not use "from 20–26 April" as on 2014 Men's World Ice Hockey Championships. In English there are three correct options:

... played from 20 to 26 April ...
... played between 20 and 26 April ...
... played on 20–26 April ...

Mean past seasons too? Because 2014/15 is still pretty empty. -Koppapa (talk) 12:18, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

German hockey players

Changing the height/weight of hockey players to metric is against the consensus of the WikiProject Ice Hockey[1] which uses imperial measurements for consistency throughout the project. You should expect your edits to be reverted when you are going around to systematically change the height/weight of hockey players to metric. I did not just blindly revert (as many other editors would have done), but rather in those situations where you made more than needless superficial changes to the articles, then I kept the improvement (i. e. adding an image) when reverting the article back to imperial measurements.

European Rowing Champs

Hi there, I hope you didn't mind me being bold and creating the European Rowing Championships template, I see you have started to use it on the pages. Well done on the 2014 results page as you updated that very quickly. Many thanks Aloneinthewild (talk) 11:18, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

2014 European Fencing Championships

Hi! Why did you revert (sort of) my correction of Joséphine Jacques-André-Coquin's name? That's her official name both for national registry and for the fencing bodies. See her page on the European Fencing Confederation's page or on the International Fencing Federation's page. She also appears under this name on the tournament's results. The name she wears on her fencing jacket is “André Coquin”, not “Coquin”, see this picture. Jastrow (Λέγετε) 10:34, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

Haha, I see. I'll leave it like that. When I go back to the championships in a few days, I'll ask her if she has a preferred short form to her name. I'll also create her article. Jastrow (Λέγετε) 10:39, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

About our feud

Greetings! I'm well aware that I'm late with this message, but circa a few years ago, both of us were involved in a small Internet feud on my talk page about the UEFA Euro 2012 tournament and other football-related articles if I remember correctly. This begs the question, do you still hold any grudges against me, can we still maintain a positive communication between each other? (Just in case you are wondering, I have nothing against you, and I acknowledge some of my mistakes that happened during those particular days.) Cheers. Arbero (talk) 12:25, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

Fifa world cup

Hi, I just saw you added FIFA referees to some of the matches at 2014 FIFA World Cup Group A and I am asking what is your source for that? It is a very active article (many edits) and it would be very good if you could source those edits or it risks being removed as it is unsourced. We should be careful adding content without sourcing. Thank you. QED237 (talk) 21:15, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

great, thanks. It should probably be included in article as well. If you dont I may do that later. QED237 (talk) 21:25, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

Oh okay I was not aware of that at all, I just saw refrees being added without source (but most likely there were I know you do not make such edits otherwise). I had no idea it was already listed in the matchreports. Perhaps we should source it anyway to avoid "confusion" and not put everything to matchreport. In champions league we source attendance as an example. QED237 (talk) 21:29, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

That sounds like a great idea, sourcing with match 1-4 source you gave me would be the best I think. QED237 (talk) 22:01, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

Cristiano began playing football with a club at the age of 6 not 8

I havn't found one all pages don't have years when he was at the club, the only pages that do are Wikipedia and those websites like Evi who take information off this website, sometimes with links in other matters you can have a few different answers from different websites, where as this is a proper documentary on his life. His family have had input in the film so it's as accurate as it gets, surely thats a good enough source???

WC official documents

Hi mate, could you link me to the page where you found the referee assignments PDFs? I'm trying to find PDFs of match statistics and line-ups, but the only documents I can find are regulations and player lists and the like. – Pee Jay 22:21, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

No worries, cheers mate. I suppose they'll be released gradually as the tournament goes on. – Pee Jay 22:42, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

Edit conflict

This user Ohconfucius is changing absolutely everything in the hockey articles, without reason from my point of view. Do you think those changes make sense? Flags and links to countries make sense to me, they are quite useful and they are used in most sport events' articles. I seeked your opinion and Aleenf1. Can something be done? Report him?. Thanks. --M&m89 (talk) 14:02, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

I agree with you. Besides, all FIFA tournaments, Olympic events, etc, they always show flags. Its just odd to see so many locations of the qualifying tournaments, for example, or names of the goalscorers, without the flag. You just don't know to which team they play. Is there a way to report this? --M&m89 (talk) 15:02, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

Can´t a flagicon template be created without the flag having a link to the country? This way the overlinking problem would be solved, and we could use the flag without problem, as we think it is needed. The template flagu exists, it is this one:

Netherlands, but the name of the country appears. If we want to put the city, for example for the qualifying tournaments, we can´t. So that is why I thought of making a template for the flagicon but without the link to the country. What do you think? --M&m89 (talk) 15:43, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

Eurobasket 2015 Qualification

If I understand the system correctly, wouldn't Sweden be qualified now, as they have a 75% win percentage, and the runner up in Group C can -at best- get a 4-2 record, making a 67% win percentage? -- Lejman (talk) 14:27, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, you're right. I see the qualification page has been updated to reflect this, good stuff. I think Poland, Sweden and Croatia nevertheless are qualified now as the runner-up in Group B at best will have a 2-2 record after you discount the games vs team 4 in the group. I don't mind waiting for today's games to finish before making any colorizations based on this though to avoid messiness. -- Lejman (talk) 17:55, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

Toni Kroos Transfer

As Guardian reported the transfer fee is £20m which is approximately 25M Euros. Why are you making it 30M Euros without a reliable source? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikiedit 26 (talk • contribs) 18:42, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

Until you add a reliable source which is better than Guardian, it should be kept as 25M Euros. Else readers will be misinformed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikiedit 26 (talk • contribs) 18:49, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

All three quotes the same Bild,therefore its practically same source. I am sure Guardian is a reliable source. If you want a dispute then, its better to cite both resources just like Bale transfer 91m-100m. Bale transfer is changed by another contributor. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikiedit 26 (talk • contribs) 18:57, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

I certainly agree with Bale transfer of 91M as confirmed by President and RMTV but seems like someone else is not. Can you make changes to other sections of teh page for Kroos transfer to 25-30M. I can agree to that too. Wikiedit 26 (talk) 19:09, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

July 2014

No, it only lists some of his honours - and just the number of times he has won, not the actual years. Giant Snowman 15:46, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

WP:Wikipedia is not a reliable source - however if you want to re-add the years, I won't remove them. However you should NOT add any honours not explicitly/directly referenced. Giant Snowman 15:54, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

MOTM WORLD CUP 2014

Sorry but I have to add it; other articles such as Messi, Robben, Benzema, Navas, etc. have added their own awards because it IS an actual award recognized by FIFA in their own site. http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/awards/man-of-the-match/. Photos show that a trophy was given to the player that was voted MOTM for each respective world cup match and it officially counts as an award. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Froboy69 (talk • contribs) 20:17, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

How THEY (UEFA) handle their MOTM with or without an actual trophy/award is completely irrelevant for how FIFA awards MOTM players with ACTUAL trophies. How the other articles with players that aren't putting their MOTM awards is also irrelevant because it does not contradict the status of a MOTM award that FIFA gave to each player. If it's officially recognized in the matter that FIFA did with as an actual trophy/award, there's no reason for us NOT to add it to a player's article. Thus, it's allowed in the articles of players that won the award. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Froboy69 (talk • contribs) 20:25, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

You may speak with them if you want. But whatever happens, it must affect ALL players' articles; if they disallow it, then every article that holds a player that is listed with that award should have it removed. If they allow it, then any player should be allowed to have it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Froboy69 (talk • contribs) 20:29, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

Fair enough. Froboy69 (talk) 20:32, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

re:Stats

Hi, Currently I have no solution and I am having the exact same problenm at this year Arsenal season. QED237 (talk) 23:27, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

Okay maybe that is the best solution, or maybe we should consider a regular wikitable. Looking at the template documentation it does not even seem like it has been made for statistics. QED237 (talk) 11:57, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

Yes that is very true but unfortunately the only solution I have at the moment. QED237 (talk) 14:52, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

That would probably work, but we might want to take it to footy at some point to find a general consesus to the MOS being developed. For 2014–15 Arsenal F.C. season it is harder to find a good solution with Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup, Community Shield, Champions League.

I suggest using a table. I have a table ready to be filled in if you want one. Kingjeff (talk) 04:32, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

No thanks. I prefer to use footballboxes and templates for matches and stats. I just think its easier to update and makes it look better organized. But thats just me. Kante4 (talk) 10:25, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

Even though you can get every competition into the template? Kingjeff (talk) 18:46, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

I can get that right now too. Real plays five games in 3 competitions, easy to put them into one with a footnote. I'm not going to change my mind on that. ;) Kante4 (talk) 18:50, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

Quarter scoring

If people will be adding scores, it makes sense to add the total running score, right? At least at every update (presumably after every quarter). It doesn't make sense if there are quarter scores and there's no running score. –H T D 11:38, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
